Hey!! Finally i bought a jasjar. When i skimmed through it, i found there is an option to swap between GSM and WCDMA. I was wondering that can i use it for the telecom network aswell after changing the settings?
Oh now i got it. Thanks a lot for that. So to use 3G feature should i choose WCDMA settting because it says that 3G feature is unable. he he i thought i would be able to use telecom from jasjar.
Just to clarify things a little, and build on jesseycys's answer (both for the OP and other interested parties),
The jasjar is a GSM/WCDMA device, and will only operate on GSM/WCDMA networks. Vodafone operate these network types in New Zealand.
Telecom operates a CDMA1X/EVDO network, and GSM/WCDMA devices simply cannot be used, they are incompatible.
There are currently no devices on the market that will switch between Telecom and Vodafone, though there are some in existence, they need to be tested, approved and connected by Telecom to work (TNZ have had one in testing, but nothing has come to market yet).
Hey!! but like in India we have WCDMA mobiles using the CDMA services. Well its quite possible that am mistaken but still i am pretty sure that box of mobile says WCDMA phone.
WCDMA is not the same as CDMA. WCDMA is also known as UMTS and it's an evolution path for GSM operators. CDMA (1xRTT and 1xEV-DO) is a different type of networks.
Believe me, the Jasjar will not work on CDMA networks.

I very much doubt that.... CDMA and WCDMA are in now way compatible and everyone seem to be confusing them lately....
